Man Man is known for their distinctive live shows where the members of the band dress in white tennis outfits and don war paint. During their sets the band does not take breaks between songs in order to keep a constant energy level. Man Man has released two LPs with Ace Fu Records: The Man in the Blue Turban With A Face (2004) and Six Demon Bag (2006). In November 2007 they signed with the Anti-Label to release a new CD/LP/Solar Flare in 2008.
